Answer to Question 1

The increase in demand causes a shortage at the original equilibrium price; the quantity supplied is less than the new quantity demanded at that price. The existence of the shortage will cause the price to rise. As price rises, the quantity supplied will increase and the quantity demanded will decrease (along the new demand curve) until equilibrium is reached at a higher price (and quantity).

Answer to Question 2

B
